The splitter and wing are what make the car, and he took em both off. Insane amount of power tho!

When there are less than 300 of those cars, I think it is a better investment not to change anything on that car...

I much prefer to see an unmolested R model, given the low quantity produced.

I agree.

I prefer to see an awesome track car built for the road given more power. That engine is a beast N/A and has some serious potential, and then add a turbo to the mix...

Maybe he removed the splitter to get it up on the dyno? & IMO, the wing might serve its purpose, but its ugly so it would be the first thing I would remove from the car.

If I had a Y2K Cobra R i wouldnt be afraid to mod it a little bit.

T76 is a MASSIVE turbo. Those things are rated at well over 900-1000hp. I think thats the turbo you see on all those single turbo converted supras running sub 10's. I wonder where he mounted that beast......oh wait just saw the picture. Yep thats the turbo where you can fit a coke can standing up inside the turbine inlet. Crazy.....

I agree. The wing on the Cobra Rs are ridicules. I don't care if its functional. A wing like that should not be on a mustang. That guy’s cobra R looks 1000 times better without the wing.

I agree that the cobra R wing looks stupid...but the cobra R's are some of the most limited production mustangs out there. Somewhere down the line im sure they will be worth a great deal of money, and pulling that kind of major modification seems kinda crazy to me. Especially when the person already paid a premium for the car they could have easily done the same on a regular mustang with just an engine swap. Instead they trashed the future value of a collecter car.

Not necessarily, because they could always turn it back to stock. You could easily make a Cobra R clone on the outside, but you cant find that engine anywhere.

This is a local shop in town. Ive seen this car also. It's pretty much amazing. I agree that it's the sort of car you probably shouldnt mod.. but damn, this thing is badass.

Its a sin to modify such a rare car.

Its not like he can't put the wing back on if he was going to sell it.

im sure he still has them sitting in a closet somewhere. perhaps only uses them for track use or something.....

Car = investment?

 

[Bluffing024]

A car like that is a NICE investment. It will be worth double what the sticker price was in no time. 200% return I would call an investment.
